Jess is an incredibly talented sleight-of-hand magician. Marla is a horrible singer-songwriter. They do not like each other very much. They have been dating for 2 years.

    I love this play. The two-hander features fully rendered characters that are magnetic, moving, and full of need. There's love and dislike and it creates a portrait of a relationship that allows us to feel both its humor and its heartbreak.
